Electric Wizard: Black Magic Rituals & Perversions Vol. 1 (Coloured Vinyl 2xLP)

For a soundtrack to the end of the world, there is no band better than Electric Wizard.

As the COVID pandemic took hold in 2020 and lockdown restricted movement to your immediate surrounds, the legendary British doom outfit wondered if they might ever play live again. Out in the wilds of the English Westcountry where singer/guitarist Jus Oborn and guitarist Liz Buckingham live, the band descended into their crypt-like jam space to make a live album like no other.

With no audience, and no actual plan to release what they came out with, they recorded themselves into a 16-track tape machine to capture their essence, their malevolence, their heaviness.

The final product, Black Magic Rituals and Perversions Vol. 1 is as raw and heavy as one would expect from The Wizard.

Hot pink vinyl version.
